Dear Digital Enthusiasts, I did not pay much attention to 30m so far, but I a nice chat with Rob ZL3RG, where I heard him both paths on this band convinced me abt its opportunities ... tnx Rob!
I am primarily an Olivia et.al. user rather than PSK, so I am wondering why this mode is not more common on 30m: the band seems to have slowly changing conds, often sigs are weak (at least at my antenna, hi) so a slow but robust mode would imho fit nicely here... any thought on this? I will keep calling occasionally, but I am a bit stuck with QRGs: hflink.com suggests for 16/500 Olivia 10139.25 kHz, which is only "nearly" compatible with band plans, and 10141.75/ 10142.25 both being quite busy with PSK traffic. So, I am wondering if it made sense to use 10146-10148? This range is rather quiet here in JN68 (144-146 is sometimes busy with Pactor sigs), how does this in other places under the same Ionosphere? 73, Joachim DL7JP
